I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way: I'm biding my time with my Nokia E71X, then switching over to the Apple Iphone. Why go through all this license purchasing, the screen reader accessibility issues, Etc., when you can leave the Apple Store with a fully-functioning, accessible phone? For me, it's a no-brainer.

Code Factory Press ReleasePassing this on because it's important. I think many current users of Mobilespeak 4 may bawk at having to pay for E-mail support that was there when they bought the product, and went away do to no fault of their own, but at least they fixed the issue. It's not Code Factory's fault, and they have to recover their development costs, but it's still a bad bad deal.

Caroline Ragot - Marketing marketing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Mobile Speak 5 for Symbian Mobile Speak 5.0 for Symbian is now available! Support for Symbian^3, Support for Nokia Email, New Review Cursor feature Terrassa (Barcelona), Spain, March 17th, 2011 Mobile Speak 5.0, a free update for all users of Mobile Speak 4.0, is now available for download! Support for Symbian^3 Symbian^3 is simpler, faster and better. While this latest version of Symbian will remain familiar to existing Symbian users worldwide, it includes more than 250 new features and improvements, such as a simplified user interface, enhanced multimedia features, and more customization abilities. Mobile Speak supports all the Symbian^3 devices currently available: Nokia N8, Nokia E7, Nokia C7 and Nokia C6-01. The Nokia E7 is the only one with a slide-out four row QWERTY keyboard. It is a device designed primarily with the business user in mind. They all have an AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, 3.2 inches for the C6-01, 3.5 inches for the C7 and the N8, and 4 inches for the E7. The C6-01 is a compact touchscreen and the most budget-friendly. The C7 is very slim and has a sleek design. The N8 is the first Nokia Symbian^3. It features a 12 Megapixel camera and a full metal chassis with anodised scratch-proof paint to give the phone a really high-end feel. As the Nokia N8 and Nokia E7 do not have physical dial and hang up keys, Mobile Speak features two new gestures: slide down and left (in the shape of the letter "L" reversed) and slide down and right (letter "L"), which can be used as the Dial and Hang Up key respectively. Nokia Email As per the request of many users, Code Factory has added support for the new Nokia email application on many 3rd FP2 devices (e.g. N86, E52, E72, E5, C5) as well as touch devices (e.g. N97 mini, N8, E7). On touch devices, support is included also when reading emails in html format. The full email will be read by default, so it is not necessary to move down one line at a time to listen to the full email. Command shortcuts in reading layout (e.g. read by words, by sentences, by paragraphs, etc) are available when reading email. In addition, pressing joystick up / joystick down will speak the previous / next paragraph. Review Cursor Mobile Speak also features a new review cursor mode (Command + 3 to toggle). This is available on both touch screen and standard keyboard devices. Once the review cursor has been activated, you can navigate around the screen virtually using the joystick. Joystick up/down moves to the previous/next element, joystick left/right moves character by character in the element, while joystick enter will open the currently selected virtual element (where possible).
